Perhaps the most intriguing storyline as the offseason unfolds and training camp approaches will be the presumed competition between Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen for the starting quarterback job.

However, as a veteran player, Bradford has not forsaken his role as a leader and mentor. That is why he reached out to Rosen via text just after he was drafted by the Cardinals, saying he would be “an open book.”

“Having been around and understanding my role as an older guy in the quarterback room, I just wanted to reach out and welcome him, and let him know I was going to be there for him to help him,” he explained. “If he ever needed anything, he could always come to me and ask questions and I would try to give him everything that I learned in my past.”

It is something Rosen appreciates.

“He is willing to embrace the competition, but also embrace the team aspect,” he said.

Bradford explained that further.

“We’re all one in that quarterback room,” he said. “We are all in there to help each other. At the same time, we are all in there to compete, but I don’t think those things should ever get in the way. I think you can do both of those things.”

Bradford is clearly comfortable with his ability and he has been in the situation before. He knows he is going to be in Arizona one year only. He surely believes he is better than Rosen is at this point and will likely be the starter, but as a Cardinal, knows the future belongs to Rosen,.
